FREE KITTENS

GREETINGS TO ALL VISITORS OF THIS GALLERY PAGE

TODAY IS SUNDAY, JUNE 10TH, 2007

AS OF TODAY I HAVE NINE 5.5 WEEK OLD KITTENS SEARCHING FOR A HOME.

THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR VIEWING MY PAGES ...THE BABIES HAVE ALL GONE ON TO GOOD HOMES AS OF JULY 4TH, 2007. I WAS SORT OF ATTACHED TO THEM BUT THEY REALLY WERE A HAND FULL AND A HALF IN A GROUP OF NINE WITH THE PARENTS HERE AS WELL!!! BEST WISHES TO ALL MY LITTLE ONES AND MAY THEY ALL BE HAPPY IN THEIR NEW HOMES.

I AM IN THE WARREN, OHIO AREA AND THESE CUTIES WILL BE READY TO GO TO THEIR NEW HOMES WITHIN 2-3 WEEKS OR LESS.

I HAVE BEEN GETTING THEM USED TO BEING HANDLED SO THEY ARE PEOPLE FRIENDLY. THEY WERE BORN INSIDE AND HAVE NEVER BEEN OUTSIDE AT ALL.

THEY COME FROM 2 DIFFERENT MOTHERS BUT ONE FATHER.

ONE MOTHER IS SARAH, A BLACK AND WHITE TUXEDO CAT WITH A LOP-SIDED CHARLIE CHAPLIN MOUSTACHE…(who was suppose to have been fixed by a certain local animal charity and obviously was not).

THE SECOND MOTHER IS NIVANA MAE (NIVIE) AND SHE IS A GREY TABBY.

THE FATHER IS SAMSON AND HE IS A BLACK CAT WITH A SMALL WHITE MEDALLION ON HIS CHEST...(now neutered…a month too late for the conception of the two litters!)

SAMSON, SARAH AND NIVIE ARE ALL VERY LOVING AND I AM TRYING TO TEACH THE BABIES TO BE THE SAME.

(I WILL INCLUDE A PICTURE OF HOW BOTH MOTHERS SHARE THE FEEDING RESPONSIBILITIES RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING...THE LITTERS WERE TWO DAYS APART AND SARAH...THE OLDER MOTHER...IMMEDIATELY CONFISCATED THE NEWBORNS FROM NIVIE TO CARE FOR THEM SINCE NIVIE REALLY WASN'T SURE WHAT TO DO. NIVIE WAS JUST A BIT MORE THAN A BABY HERSELF AND WON'T BE A YEAR OLD UNTIL JULY)

RIGHT NOW THE BABIES ARE GETTING VERY ACTIVE AND ARE STARTING TO EAT SOLID FOODS. I AM WORKING ON THE LITTER BOX TRAINING AND BY THE TIME THEY ARE TRULY READY TO LEAVE THEY SHOULD BE WELL ON THEIR WAY TO BEING LITTER TRAINED. THEY ARE ALL TENTATIVELY IDENTIFIED BY GENDER BUT I COULD BE MISTAKEN ON ANY OF THEM.

THESE FIRST THREE SHOTS ARE OF ALL NINE KITTENS GATHERED IN A DEEP LAUNDRY BASKET JUST BEFORE I WAS GETTING READY TO TAKE THEIR INDIVIDUAL PICTURES:

THE KITTENS ARE ALL BASICALLY PAIRED EXCEPT FOR ONE. AT THE TIME I WAS TAKING THE PICTURES, I HAD NOT REALIZED THAT THE SINGULAR ONE WAS ALSO A VERY SPECIAL LITTLE LADY. SHE WAS THE FIRST OF SARAH'S LITTER, WAS THE LARGEST, LOUDEST, AND MOST BLESSED BECAUSE SHE HAS WHAT APPEARS TO BE EITHER BUTTERFLY OR ANGEL WINGS ON THE BACK OF HER HEAD. I DID NOT GET A SHOT OF IT BUT, IF YOU WANT TO SEE IT…CONTACT ME THROUGH THE E-MAIL LINK AND I'LL ARRANGE FOR A TIME FOR YOU TO COME AND SEE HER. THE SAME APPLIES FOR ANY OF THE OTHER BABIES. THEY ARE ALL UP FOR ADOPTION!!! THE THREE ADULT CATS ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR ME.

THE EXTRA SPECIAL THING ABOUT ALL OF SARAH'S LITTER IS THAT HAD THEY BEEN A DAY LATER, THEY MAY NOT HAVE EVEN BEEN BORN. THE PLACE WHICH WAS SUPPOSE TO HAVE FIXED SARAH WAS HAVING ME COME DOWN THAT VERY EVENING TO BRING SARAH IN AND SEE IF SHE WAS REALLY PREGNANT AND CORRECT THE MISTAKE…WHICH MEANS THEY MAY HAVE BEEN TAKEN AND NOT GIVEN THE CHANCE TO SURVIVE. I WOULD LIKE TO BELIEVE THAT THEY WOULD HAVE ALLOWED THEM TO LIVE AND ARRANGED TO FIX SARAH AFTER THEY WERE WEANED BUT SARAH MUST HAVE KNOWN SOMETHING WAS UP AND DECIDED TO TAKE THE MATTER INTO HER OWN PAWS…GIVING BIRTH TO FOUR SPECIAL BABIES.

I HAD BEEN CALLING THIS ONE WITH THE ANGEL/BUTTERFLY WINGS ON HER HEAD…SHE'S A FEMALE, I THINK…PO-KENO OR HOSS BECAUSE OF HER SIZE IN COMPARISON TO THE OTHER BABIES BUT SINCE THE DISCOVERY OF THAT SPECIAL MAKING ON HER HEAD, I'VE BEEN CALLING HER ANGEL…(FLUTTERBEE JUST DOESN'T FIT)

************************

THERE ARE TWO BLACK KITTENS…THE FIRST IS THE SMALLEST OF SARAH'S LITTER AND I'VE BEEN CALLING HIM SQUEEKER BECAUSE OF THE SOUNDS HE MAKES AND HE HAS THE LARGER WHITE MEDALLION ON HIS CHEST. HE IS ONE OF THE FIRST OT COME OUT TO GREET ME WHEN I COME HOME AND, JUST LAST NIGHT, FELT COMFORTABLE ENOUGH WITH ME TO FALL ASLEEP ON ME WHILE I WAS ON THE COUCH…HE'S A LOT LIKE HIS FATHER…RUB HIM JUST BEHIND THE NECK AND HE ZAPS OUT.

*********************

THE SECOND BLACK ONE IS THE FEMALE AND SHE IS FROM NIVIE'S LITTER. SHE HAS THE SMALLER WHITE MEDALLION ON HER CHEST AND IS ONLY SLIGHTLY BIGGER THAN SQUEEKER. I HAD BEEN CALLING HER SALEM UNTIL I FOUND SHE WAS A LITTLE LADY AND THEN CHANGED HER NAME TO ESMERELDA…(OF COURSE ALL NAMES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE BY THE NEW OWNERS) SHE'S AS FRIENDLY AS SQUEEKER BUT HAS NOT YET FALLEN ASLEEP ON ME.

***********************

THE NEXT TWO ARE STRICTLY FROM NIVIE'S LITTER…THE TWO GREY, BLACK AND WHITE TABBIES. THE FIRST ONE HAS BLACK PAW PADS AND GREY PAWS…NO WHITE BOOTS AND IS A FEMALE. I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE FO COME UP WITH A SUITABLE NAME FOR HER BUT SHE IS A SWEETIE…JUST A LITTLE SHY BUT THEN SO IS HER MOTHER.

***********************

THE SECOND GREY TABBY IS THE MALE AND HAS WHITE BOOTS…HE IS ALSO THE PROTESTER…I CAUGHT HIM CALLING OUT AND ALSO IN ONE OF THE BASKET SHOTS DOING A 'WHAT A FACE' AND HAD TO INCLUDE IT. I'VE BEEN JUST CALLING HIM BOOTS…NOTHING IMAGINATIVE THERE,

*****************************

THE NEXT SET IS THE GREY AND WHITE ONES. THE FIRST IS SARAH'S AND HAS A TINY WHITE BLAZE ON HER FOREHEAD…FEMALE, OF COURSE. I'VE BEEN CALLING HER GRACIE. GRACIE IS THE SECOND ONE OUT TO GREET ME AND HAS BEEN SEEKING ME OUT A LOT WHILE I AM HOME FOR EXTRA ATTENTION. (CAUTION--SHE IS A CLIMBER…SHE WAS THE FIRST ONE OUT OF THE BASKET EVEN THOUGH I DIDN'T GET A SHOT OF HER DOING IT.) GRACIE IS ALSO THE FIRST ONE I SAW USING THE LITTER BOX.

***********************

THE SECOND GREY AND WHITE HAS THE LARGER WHITE BLAZE ON HIS FACE AND I'VE BEEN CALLING HIM GEORGE. HE'S A BIT OF A CHARACTER AND LOVES TO PLAY WITH THE OTHERS. HE IS FROM NIVIE'S LITTER.

*************************

THE LAST PAIR ARE TUXEDO KITTENS…THE SMALLER OF THE TWO WITH THE WHITE BLAZE ON HER FACE IS FROM SARAH'S LITTER. SHE'S A PRETTY LITTLE LADY AND I'VE BEEN CALLING HER DEEDEE RIGHT NOW. SHE, TOO IS FRIENDLY BUT DOES LIKE TO FIND SECLUDED CORNERS FOR ALONE TIME…IT TOOK ME HALF AN HOUR OF SEARCHING TO FIND HER WHEN I DID THE KITTEN ROUNDUP FOR THEIR MUG SHOTS.

************************

THE LAST ONE IS FROM NIVIE'S LITTER AND IS A MALE. HE WAS A BIT SHY AND HARDER TO GET A PICTURE OF SO HE ENDED UP DOING A 'KILROY WAS HERE' SHOT OVER MY FRIEND'S SHOULDER…THUS I AM CALLING HIM KILROY FOR THE MOMENT. HE'S A GROUP KITTY AND LIKES TO SNUGGLE WITH ANY OF THE OTHERS.

***********************

THESE ARE THE SHOTS OF JUST AFTER THE BABIES WERE BORN WITH BOTH MOTHERS CARING FOR THEM AND THEN WITH ONE SHOT OF DARAH CARING FOR ALL OF THEM.
